Yeah, it did cross my mind that its pretty much the same at all levels of Horology.
This is why I am enjoying kickstarter projects like Alkin. Well made and interesting watches that aren't YAS (yet another Seiko) for less than £200.

@Stonehedge have you had yours delivered and how/when did you hear about Alkin? Looks pretty impressive on their kickstarter page. I would have pledged for one but I think funding is closed now as they have hit their target.

Although I wonder how the margins on these watches compare to Rolex, etc?
Obviously a much better watch but I imagine the marketing spend is absolutely outrageous and someone is paying for that.
